I had to laugh!
So I have had a cough since Christmas , and I have been really tired. I was convinced my thyroid was to blame so I have been to see a nurse at the docs. She was lovely. We started by me saying I didn't want anti biotics unless absolutely necessary , cos they mess up my system, and her saying it looks

12 months after Quadruple By-pass
Today is it 12 months since my 4 X CABG and I thought it would be a good time to reflect on my experience. I suppose the first lesson I learnt was not to put off going to the doctors in the first place! I realised some time ago that I was becoming breathless when even doing the most simple tasks. Like

Post Ivor Lewis Mucus
Hi, I’m really hoping someone can help me find a solution to the excessive mucus that causes coughing and then retching it up every time my husband moves around. He’s 5 weeks post Ivor Lewis...which followed 28 radiation treatments & 7 carbon platin infusions. Surgeon says everything looks great on chest

Daughter with chronic cough
Hi I have a 2 year old who has had a chesty cough for over a year now. It wakes her at night as well. I have taken her to the GP repeatedly. She has had several courses of antibiotics, asthma medications and antihistamines. Nothing has worked. I insisted she got a chest x ray which showed some haze

Worried
Hello everyone, I’m new here and I’ve joined because I was diagnosed with a very loud heart murmur last weekend. I’ve been suffering with breathlessness for a few months when going up stairs or when out walking. I’ve also been hearing the strange noise at night for a month or so too, which turned out

Going from bad to worse
Latest diagnosis is stage three peritoneal cancer . Had a chest x ray and I have a nodual on my lung and have to go for a c t scan on Sunday . I am feeling suicidal now . Does this mean my cancer has spread through my body

Newly diagnosed
Hi everyone, I’ve just been diagnosed with asthma today after a recent trip to the doctors. A few weekends ago, I felt severely out of breath and couldn’t even walk slowly whilst trying to talk at the same time. This was completely unusual and so when I still felt this ill on the Monday, I took a trip

Ribs and pain
Hi Everyone, Sorry not been on for a while just feel isolated. Just won I’ve had severe pain under my ribs for months. Doctor scared me said it might be lung cancer. Chest X-ray came back clear so did bloods. Does anyone else have these pains. Hope everyone is coping with this nightmare called fibromyalgia

COPD
Hi peeps I was reading a post about someone being told by their GPs receptionist that they have copd. This happened to me last week and I was totally shocked. I had rung for results of a chest X-RAY that I had been sent for as I have Flu and I’m asthmatic and she simply read the results out as background

Introduction
Hi everyone, I’m Deb from Australia. I’m here because we really don’t have any frequented forums in OZ, and I find FB pages a bit random and depressing. So, I’m 61yo, and until recently I worked for Bunnings in OZ. A job I loved, but pounding around on concrete, wearing steel caps, and putting stock
